Power tool with drop arm orbit bracket
First Claim
1. A power tool assembly, comprising:
- a workpiece support surface;
a drop arm assembly including a drop arm frame and an arbor shaft configured to support a shaping device at least partially above the workpiece support surface, the drop arm assembly configured to move within a drop plane to drop the shaping device completely beneath the workpiece support surface;
a belt operably connected to the arbor shaft and configured to rotate the arbor shaft through a slave pulley, the slave pulley having a slave pulley axis of rotation;
a motor including a power shaft operably connected to the belt through a motor end pulley, the motor end pulley having a motor end pulley axis of rotation; and
an orbit bracket configured to orbitally support the drop arm assembly, the orbit bracket defining a drop arm orbit axis located between the motor end pulley axis of rotation and the slave pulley axis of rotation.
